Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can lead to some of the most devastating and severe injuries of any roadway crash due to the motorcycle rider having little protection from other traffic and the road. Generally, the biker’s entire body is exposed and the only protection he has is from a helmet. Motorcycles also travel at high rates of speed, which can increase the likelihood of serious injuries in the event of a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists’ risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car. This is a scary and alarming statistic, and if you are in a crash on a motorcycle or lose a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you will likely need an experienced attorney to help you navigate your claim.

Motorcycle accidents can be very difficult claims to pursue because of the attitude that many people have towards motorcyclists on the road. Sadly, jury pools often carry those same attitudes and biases, and in the event your case goes to trial, careful attention must be paid to educating the jury about motorcycle riders and North Carolina motorcycle laws. This is where it is extremely important when hiring a lawyer to handle your claim, that your attorney be an experienced trial lawyer. Making a claim for your motorcycle accident does not necessarily mean that your case will go to court, but generally, you are more likely to settle your claim for the highest dollar amount possible if the insurance company and the defense attorney know that your lawyer is willing to take your case to court to fight for your rights.

Many of the cases our firm handles involving motorcycle accidents occur because other motorists simply do not see the motorcycle rider that they struck. Sadly, this all too often is the case because drivers do not pay close enough attention or are distracted and aren’t on the lookout for motorcycle riders. When cars or trucks on the road don’t look out for motorcycles or disregard them when driving, the results can be tragic. If you have suffered personal injury or if a loved one has been killed in a motorcycle accident, you will want an experienced attorney who has successfully advocated for motorcycle accident victims.
